In this final paper, the topic of propaganda will be addressed, starting with a review of some of the definitions of foreign and domestic experts, as well as definitions that can be found in the Croatian Encyclopedia. Next, we will shift the focus to war propaganda, which throughout history has been used to shape public opinion and support for military actions, and we will explain the concept of disinformation, which is closely related to propaganda itself. In the second chapter, Russia will be described as the subject of a case study and an overview will be given of complex international relations and the defense policy of Russia, which is structured and taught by the past, especially during the Soviet Union. The third chapter deals with examples of the war propaganda and in what ways it was used during the First World War, the Second World War and the Cold War. At the end of the paper itself, we come to the contemporary and popular topic of today, the war in Ukraine. In the last chapter, the work focuses on the examples of propaganda and the role of the media, and what impact misinformation spread by that propaganda can have on the population of Russia.
